DAMAGE TYPE CHANGES

A few abilities and damage type mechanics have been reworked. There are now three primary damage types and a Spell Immunity Piercing status with each. Each ability now carries a notation in the tooltip indicating these.

The three damage types are Physical, Magical and Pure.

Physical is affected by Physical Armor, Magical is affected by Magical Damage Resistance and Pure is affected by neither.

Magic Immunity has now been renamed to Spell Immunity. Spell Immunity only defines if Spells interact with it, not how damage itself is handled. This means that on its own Spell Immunity status does not reduce any damage.

Black King Bar, Repel, Rage and all other previous forms of "Magic Immunity" now grant Spell Immunity status and a 100% Magic Resistance bonus.

In the vast majority of cases, the interactions are still the same, however an example of a case that would be different is if an ability has both Spell Immunity exception and has Pure damage type. Previously the damage would not have any impact, however now it does.

Warlock
Fatal Bonds now shares the same damage type that is dealt into it, before it is reduced [?]
Fatal Bonds damage percentage from 20% to 25%
Flaming Fists damage type from Magical that pierces Spell Immunity to Magical (No longer pierces Spell Immunity)

Necronomicon
Last Will damage type from Pure to Magical (Still does not pierce Spell Immunity)
Last Will damage increased from 400/500/600 to 550/675/800

Urn of Shadows
Changed from HP Removal to Pure

Additional Notes:
1) Composite Damage: This damage type has been removed. There are no longer any abilities which use Composite Damage.

2) HP Removal: This is no longer considered a Damage Type, and its remaining uses are as an alternative cost to Mana for spells to use (Sunray, Burning Spears) or as functional HP modifications (Armlet, Sunder, etc). These are now considered usage costs in the game and are never lethal.

Wow! That's a really huge changelogs! Let's hope those changes will arrive in the DotA soon!
